  5. Walsh, Darlene M., ed. Roswell; a Pictorial History. 2nd ed. Roswell, GA: Roswell Historical Society, Inc., 1994.
    This book is used as a historical backdrop for the Lodge. It outlines the development of the city and the institutions within it. It is not directly quoted within the pages of this work, but its background information was necessary for the paper. It was also to be used for my original thesis, even though the historical data failed to back up that thesis.
